God daughter christianing gift

internetbaby · July 2009

Ladies, would love some suggestions. My BFF's daughter (9 months old) is now my god daughter. I am not religious and would love to get her a nice keepsake gift. It would be great if I can spend less than $75. Any suggestions on what to get? Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

DDs godmother had her gown preserved and put in a shadow box with a nice letter from her. Really sweet. Don't know how much it cost though.

I scrapbook, so for two of my godchildren I did scrapbooks of their first year for them as the baptismal gift.

DD got a couple of pieces of little girl jewelry that I loved. One was a little pearl bracelet and the other was a tiny diamond cross necklace. I let her wear the bracelet now on special occasions (as long as she is supervised) and will let her wear the cross necklace when she gets older.

I got both my Godchildren the 100 Good Wishes quilt (and embroidered w/ their name and birth date) from RedEnvelope.com. I also got one a ceramic cross to hang in his bedroom and the other a pink bible with her name engraved on it (which was only $20 total at a Christian Family Store, on sale).

There are always good codes for RedEnvelope so just search for one to get a discount

You could go with the mom to pick out a christening gown and then pay for it. If that's a little too iffy pricewise (not knowing what she'll pick out, etc.) you could ask if the mom/dad would like the christening blanket/gown/etc. embroidered with their child's name/date of christening as a keepsake after the ceremony.

My sister bought DS's outfit and also got a blanket that she had embroidered with his name/date. Nice because he can always choose to pick his own christening outfits for any children he may have but use the blanket and pass it down to his children.

DD received a beautiful gold cross necklace from her godfather for her baptism. She's obviously too young to wear it now, but it's something she'll always have. If you need something more, a book of children's Bible stories would be a good choice.

My daughter received a savings bond and a tiny silver cross pin from her godmother. From her godfather, she received a book of prayers for children and a silver comb and brush set.

I made a satin quilt for my nephew's baptism, his godmother got him a similar blanket, both embroidered with his name and date of baptism.

I always do a savings bond because it helps them in the future:) You could do a nice cross, a cross necklace, or any other religious keepsake. They have many stores you can check out.
